My name is Sidian Jones and I want to change the world by introducing a new way to understand beliefs, and to design tools and services using that understanding to empower people all over the world.

I am proposing that we are living in the age of Open Source Religion

Religion used to have homogeneity. That is, the idea of saying “I’m Christian, with Buddhist leanings.” was not a common option. This has changed. Massively. The days of belief uniformity within a religion have, for decades, been swapped for the flexibility of pulling from multiple spiritual sources. This is the era of Open Source Religion.

The “closed” sources (The Bible, Quran, Sutras, Vedas, etc) have been open sourced, by popular vote among the people. And in detaching from a closed environment, beliefs have become modular, able to be edited, upgraded, reassigned, or deleted from within a person of religion, multiple religions, spiritual, or non-spiritual.

I am working on three platforms to further the OSR movement

Using machine learning to gather, and parse every human belief into a navigable map. This is the anthropological, data, and research side.
